LED light bulb, lamp fixture with self-networking intercom, system and method therefore

Abstract

A networked light for illumination and intercom for communications in a single housing, with voice command and control, hands-free. The system in a housing configured to conventional looking lamp, bulb, fixture, lighting devices, suitable for a direct replacement of conventional illuminating devices typical found in homes or buildings. A network of such voice command and control systems may be further monitored and controlled from a base station that facilitates programming, communications, and higher functionality therebetween. The system provides speech recognition for powering on and off, dimming, brightening, and adjusting the lighting to preset, night and emergency settings. The voice recognition command controls the intercom to be active and attentive to requests, connecting two or more locations within a home or building structure, for speech exchanges in communications, via radio frequency transmitting and receiving of signal messages between the individual light and intercom system devices within a network of devices.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention solves problems in the prior art by providing an improved LED light bulb with built-in intercom system that can communicate with multiple light / intercom systems in a network, and can function both in-network and out-of-network using a base-station control-center. The system affords verbally stating lights to dim, brighten, turn off or on, enter different modes, and can be controlled using hands-free voice commands. The system is also integrated with a smart home network and can connect to land-line or cellular line for out-of-network communications.

Problems solved by technology

While it is obvious that the above conventional LED lighting bulbs and conventional intercom devices offer tremendous acceptance around the world as useful devices, there is no prior art that combines the two fields; lighting and communications to comprise a unique operating system.

Further, there is no convenient monitoring base station or central control for typical homes and buildings.

Such lighting functions are too impractical by an application on a smart phone alone (smart phone batteries frequently go dead or the phone goes missing, misplaced, etc.), but, by a dedicated control-center designed specifically to manage lighting and intercom communications.

None of the above approaches in the prior art discloses a means for integrating a LED lighting means with intercom communication means within a single bulb ‘housing’ envelope.

Also, none of the listed prior art can or will directly replace a conventional sized or shaped light bulb, configured to any style or type; having wireless system networking, with voice recognition commands and controls; suitable for any light / lamp fixture sitting on the floor, on a table, mounting on a wall, or in or on a ceiling.

And as such, thus making it impossible to be installed practicably into common lighting possibilities in general homes or buildings.

This makes a conventional ‘on / off switch’ virtually obsolete.
